Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Sight & Sound
Did You Know?
Meet the charismatic chameleon, whose panoramic vision enables it to locate prey and avoid being captured by a predator at the same time. This is possible because it has eyes capable of moving independently in different directions. With this unique ability, the chameleon can stay vigilant in its environment while focusing on its next meal.
